Policy Brief
The voluntary carbon market is gearing up to sell corn ethanol CCS projects as carbon removal because they store biogenic CO₂. We explain why this logic falls short.

Policy Brief
Alaska passed a bill that allows state forests to join the voluntary carbon market. We summarize the evidence that this program might result in non-additional offset credits.

Policy Brief
Quebec's flawed reforestation offsets protocol overestimates the value of temporary carbon storage and ignores the albedo effects of planting trees.
